also, did I mention that we kinda-sorta have a homepage again?
mecgame.com/

it is very, very minimalistic and there's barely anything except a few links, I'll update it with the link to the demo once it's out and eventually the site will get more content ... perhaps even a forum again.

sorry for the silence: still working on the main story/stories

[Criz]

yet more writing and brooding over the stories.
I think MEC is mostly done as far as the raw story goes unless I need to adjust things, but MEC2 is still very much work in progress. While it offers more points to connect with the stories of the ME trilogy, this also feels at times limiting. Not sure yet how much of these I'll leave in and how much of it will be going our own way.

[Criz]

story/stories are sent off to the guys to get some feedback even though that one mission hasn't even been fleshed out in the tiniest bits, I still think a mission there at that time needs to happen ... *sigh*

let's see when I hear from them 

[Criz]

still waiting for feedback as everyone is busy with RL

I should work on some of the other things I can work on, now that my computer is back from being fixed and most things are re-installed

[Criz]

haven't heard back from the guys yet (guess they're more busy with RL than anticipated), but I did a quick drawing for a squaddie

[Criz]

sorry for the long silence;
I was working on something for N7 day and didn't want to jinx it, but now I have the bare minimum done 

[Criz]

sorry, due to issues at work I'm feeling very uninspired lately 
I need to fight these feelings for a number of reasons ...
and I still have to pretty up the 'bare minimum' for N7 day at least

[Criz]

my apologies about the lon absence.
I'm currently preoccupied with DAI, but I'll be back to MEC soon-ish, I hope ...

[Criz]

still entrenched in Thedas, sorry *shrug*

just popping in because I wanted to wish you all Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year, see you in 2015

I set february as the time to get back into MEC.
need to figure some things out, and I really need to get back into MEC badly, because I feel that while some important things were done for MEC or at least like ... set in motion (not entire finished, stuff that is in flux as always ...) not nearly enough things were done for MEC in the past and 2014 in particular.
Also it looks like the people working on ReGaL are making quite some progress, so I really hope that once the resources are done, MEc can be built in this new engine

done with the second DAI playthrough a little ahead of schedule, so I can dedicate the entire weekend to catch up with MEC. Looking forward to roaming the endlessness of space again, even though the Hinterlands certainly seemed endless at times, too

going over the main story again - mostly just rearranging things, hoping they'll make more sense/are more engaging for players this way.
the basic story of MEC2 - yes, I want to be prepared - will be more of a challenge to revise. It seems a bit too close to the actual games and using the same 'excuse' over and over. Gotta change that.

[Criz]

still messing around with the main story. Shifting around, so there'll be a proper ending to MEC, but MEC2 will also have interesting points. I briefly even considered MEC3, but things would have been stretched out unnecessarily ... so there'll probably just be a time lapse ... we'll see 

[Criz]

slowly, ever so slowly, typing down the story on the PC because I tend to make rewrites with a pen ...
also some shufflinf around of characters, so even if there had been images of them before, you may not see them again or at least not in the position they were introduced ... oh well ...

[Criz]

embarassingly still/again fiddling around with the story. Changing the order of the missions back a nd forth and back again - it's unnerving ... like walking in quicksand 

[Criz]

rewriting the story again was ... tedious but fun in its own way
but I really want - and need - to do something else with this game for once ...

[Criz]

sorry for the long silence, I was preoccupied with work-related things - which I enjoyed doing, but I'd really prefer to do that during my normal work hours and not at home 
updated one squad concept and drew another one, hopefully tomorrow I can type down their backstory info

[Criz]

typed down a bit of their backstory last night, but it's all very rudimentary. I need to flesh things out eventually, but I basically need to do that for everyone else - player characters, squad, crew, villains (?) - too

[Criz]

little heads-up that I will probably be busy with freelance work soon. So updates will be scarce ... well, scarcer

[Criz]

made a preliminary title sceen with the new logo - and some concept art from the actual ME games (Citadel)
and fiddled around with some of the sprites and made a list of rough sprites - they may not walk properly and not have shadows etc. heck I might use the same body for males and females for a bit until it's further along and the sprites will be refined.

[Criz]

messed around a bit with the concept drawings, but I really need to get back to sprites

[Criz]

just some more meddling with the concepts, still no pixel art *sobs*

[saMoorai]

Can't wait to play this! 

[Criz]

I wish I could say you won't have to wait long, but ... you'll have to wait long


I did work a wee bit on the sprites today. I'm always back and forth about detailing things already and having some very rough stuff to test things with ...
